LIVING IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD SEPTEMBER 25, 2025
Dear Saints all Over God’s Earth,
Blessed be the Name of the Lord, God, Most High! May His
richest blessings be unto you according to your needs and response to His
commandments.
September is a memorable and important month in the lives
of those who cherish Our Heavenly Father and treasure up in our hearts and
minds the beauty and value of His Holy Word. This month we remember the
marvelous event when Joseph Smith Jr. was permitted to take the Golden Plates
from Hill Cumorah and eventually translate them, by the gift and power of God,
into the Book of Mormon.
There is a huge effort being made by many, especially in
the USA and western world, to destroy our culture and history. As we give
thought to “Living in the Kingdom of God,” do we know our church history well
enough to “live it and share it with those we come into contact with? Do we
know our scriptures well enough to live them and share them with others? The
problem with the scribes, Pharisees and others, in the time of Jesus, was that
they knew the law and stressed it to the people, but did not live it themselves.
Two suggested readings are Church History Volume One,
Chapter Two and Alma 17. After serving as Chief Judge and High priest of the
Church, Alma, at the end of chapter two, “confined himself wholly to the high
priesthood of the holy order of God.” Though he still had other
responsibilities, his main focus was on the ministry. Read chapter three and
you will understand why. It seems typical of the church in every dispensation
and is today.
In Alma 17, he shares his testimony of what he had done
wrong and how God intervened in his life and saved the church and his soul.
Isn’t that worth living as if we are really in the Kingdom and stir us to
remember our awful state before and blessed state after “finding Jesus?”
May each of us, wherever we find ourselves, “Live the
Kingdom life.” so others may see Jesus in us. That is one purpose of the Book
of Mormon and for our salvation.
